Updated September 2023: The pattern has now been expanded to include SIX sizes, which should fit older children/tweens/delicate hands all the way through sturdy hands of any gender. There’s some fresh photos of new samples as well.

I’ve also built in a coupon that will give you 40% off another mitten pattern, either Luxury Liners, Shall We Mitts - Worsted or Shall We Mitts - Bulky. This way you can make a liner mitt and an outer mitt for better protection against cold and snow, or simply to have choices in your mitten wardrobe. Luxury Liners fit under either SWMs, and SWM - Worsted fit snugly under SWM - Bulky.

Simply add the new pattern to you cart on Ravelry (note - you have to have purchased one of the three patterns previously or be purchasing one at the same time as a second) and enter the code ALLTHEMITTENS before checking out.

This pattern is for a basic bulky weight mitten with a ribbed cuff, a thumb gusset, and a fitted, tapered hand. The mittens are designed to have a close fit for maximum warmth.

Shown in Koigu Bulky, you will need 1 (2, 2) skeins. Note that there were almost no leftovers on the small size with only one skein, for insurance you should buy a second.

You could also knit these in washable Cascade 128 Superwash, and would need 1 (1, 2) skeins. With this yarn, the medium size comes close to using all the yarn, and you may wish to buy a second.

These mitts make great quick gift knitting! Mine were gifted to Karen at Shall We Knit? who will eventually get to wear them after they are no longer shop samples.
